Le Rebelle

Le Rebelle describes itself as a neighbourhood bistro and bar on Beaufort Street in Mount Lawley. It is run by owners Sarah and Liam Atkinson, with James Knubley as head chef, and the same team operates Barrogue, a wine bar a short way down the road. Gourmet Traveller lists it among Perth's best restaurants in its 2026 guide, and its review describes the room as a buzzy Art Deco fantasia.

The cooking is classic French bistro fare done with care. Dishes that have drawn attention include duck frites with bearnaise sauce, steak tartare finished with a splash of Cognac, grilled whiting with brown butter, and two-bite crab brioche toasts that can be ordered as an entree. Seasonal specials appear on the menu, such as a cassoulet made with confit Wagin duck leg, and the restaurant keeps a list of its signature classics. The drinks list covers a wide range of wines and spirits, so it works as well for a drink at the bar as for a full meal. There is also a separate fromage menu of cheeses, which makes a good finish if you prefer something savoury to dessert, and sample food and cheese menus are posted on the restaurant's website so you can plan ahead.

Dinner is served from Wednesday to Saturday, and lunch on Friday and Saturday. On Wednesday and Thursday the restaurant opens from 5pm to 10pm, and on Friday and Saturday it runs from midday through to 10pm. Bookings can be made online and are recommended for dinner, while walk-ins are welcome at the weekend lunch sittings.

The restaurant suits couples on a date night, friends sharing a bottle and a few plates, and anyone who enjoys French cooking without the formality of fine dining. Prices sit in the upper-middle range, in line with Gourmet Traveller's three-dollar-sign rating. Note that Gourmet Traveller lists the venue as not wheelchair accessible, so call ahead if you have mobility needs.

Le Rebelle is at 676 Beaufort Street. After dinner, Barrogue nearby is an option for another glass of wine. Because hours can change around holidays and occasional private events, which have closed the restaurant for an evening in the past, check the website or call before making a special trip.
